Dear Tom,

thanks for this, I will try it soon. Do you understand how all these
different 'levels' of controlling the mouse work? I had already tried
similar tricks using the 'synclient' commandline command, but that did
not resolve the problem. Now you say that there's
'gpointing-device-settings' (which is gnome related, I guess) and
'xinput', which is at the 'x11' level. This used to be soo much more
transparent in the old linux days ;o)
